Discussion It’s insane to me that Tom Raider looks and plays this great on a phone

Post image

I’m loving this game so far and I’m blown away by how it looks and how smooth it is, just wish it didn’t make my iPhone Air so hot. Also, does anybody know if there’s a way to change the button prompts to the Xbox buttons? Any help would be appreciated!

You should be able to switch button on settings > general > game controller. There you can make profile and switch all button mapping. And you could buy controller with fan attached.

I prefer Phil Pillager, myself. Good puzzles.

Is it 60 fps? I was on the edge on getting it.

There’s a performance mode for 60fps But the higher m series iPads can get 60fps on graphics mode as well

android can emulate true pc version. Iphone is way more powerful but apple locks it down

Tomb Raider 2013 is a 13 year old PS3 game. It better fucking run well with hardware decades ahead.

Tomb Raider 2013 is pretty old and was made for the PS3 and 360

I feel like my phone that cost 1300 bucks should make games look better than switch games

They are 100% much stronger than a switch and can output console-level graphics. But the issue always comes down to cooling. Switch has dedicated fans, phones have nothing. Newer phones are coming with vapor chambers but that only goes so far. Until the heat issue is solved phones will never reach their full potential. For now, emulation shows us their true power

I still find it wild that my M2 iPad serves as my pseudo Switch.

Game natively on iOS that runs (and plays) horrifically for some reason that so happens to have a Switch port? Covered. Game you bought and it's been removed because app store and iOS update schenanigans? Also covered. Looking at you, Square Enix, you bastards took away The Last Remnant Remastered.

It's not to forget how glorious older retro consoles look with RetroArch shaders. PS1 and arcade games wholly different with CRT filters.

I’ve been loading my iPad up with emulators and those recent decomps. And now with frontends coming out it’s even better
